Training

An element that sets FineLine HR Consulting apart from other providers is our commitment to training. Although we do not believe it is practical—or necessarily desirable—for managers and supervisors to have an HR practitioner’s full command of all employment laws and HR principles, we do think that costly problems can be avoided or risks contained when those managers are empowered to recognize a fine line—and get help before they end up on the wrong side of it.

FineLine was formed, in part, to develop cost-effective, understandable, and useable training programs. When it comes to training abilities, FineLine’s expertise is unrivaled. FineLine combines a depth of technical knowledge with the ability to readily convey it in accessible and enjoyable ways that business people can understand and apply. We help managers fully understand both the legal ramifications and practical strategies of hiring, evaluating, managing, compensating, motivating, developing, disciplining, and discharging employees. We offer live, instructor led, on-site training; webinars and other real-time distance learning sessions; and our up-to-date, on-demand E-training courseware. See below for FineLine’s training modules.

FineLine can also design and deliver customized training for your organization—both for management and staff level employees.
